RX selectivity test

Excuse me:

                   When our  tests the RX selectivity of nrf52832, the test results are inconsistent with those in the datasheet(nRF52832 Product Specification v1.4  P232). How did it happen? Do you have any reference documents?

selectivity can be measured with two generators.

signal generator A that provides the wanted signal( level at Pout= -64 dBm@2402MHz,2Msps mode, nrf52832 1#). 
signal generator B (CMW270) with an unmodulated signal is used as the interferer and combined with the primary signal using a power combiner. signal generator B  is placed at the desired frequency offset and then the power is increased until the BER degrades to 0.1%(nrf52832 2#).
Our test results are as follows:
frequency offset(MHz) Interferer signal level(dBm) TEST  C/I2M(dBc) DATASHEET C/I2M(dBc)
  -32*(2370) -26.21 -40.84 -52
-6 -24.69 -42.36 -42
-4 -42.61 -24.44 -20
-2 -43.62 -23.43 6
0 -74.44 7.39 10
2 -32.21 -34.84 -14
4 -24.69 -42.36 -44
6 -22.67 -44.38 -47
 28(2430) -26.69 -40.36 -52

  • Hi Helen, 

    the numbers should be the same when you test as for when we test, as long as the set up is the same.

    The footnote on the number in the PS states:  Wanted signal level at PIN = -67 dBm. One interferer is used, having equal modulation as the wanted signal. The input power of the interferer where the sensitivity equals BER = 0.1% is presented

    Also note that this is been certified in RF-PHY testing, and you can use this when referencing our QDID's when certifying with Bluetooth SIG.
